Eesh. To coin a phrase, I'm not sure whether to laugh or weep. Lord of Angmar, I really admire for wading into the middle of it and trying to clean out the misconceptions, but I'm not sure there's really any way to change their minds, at least not by this method. It's an odd fact that the less evidence there is for a theory, the harder some people will cling to it, and they'll probably just be nasty to you for your pains. (If they can't figure out from Tolkien's own words to the German publisher that he did NOT regard the Jews as an inferior race, I doubt anybody who isn't Tolkien will be able to convince them).

That being said, is anyone else rather sadly amused by the way they use the word "Caucasian"? If we interpreted that literally, it would mean that only HerenIstarion and a few others would be numbered among the chosen. And the funny thing is that I've met several Caucasians (as in "from the Caucasus", not just "white" which can encompass a huge variety of ethnic backgrounds) who are quite dark and would probably be looked at very askance by these dingbats. Sigh. If they only knew what a genetic muddle everyone's background is...
